The bill establishes a University Interscholastic League Medical Board
(UILMB) composed of four physicians and one athletic trainer.
University Interscholastic League (UIL) rules impacting the health of
students would not  be effective unless approved by the UILMB.  The
UILMB would have rulemaking authority (subject to approval by the
commissioner of education) and be required to adopt a uniform medical
policy applicable to all students, campuses and districts participating
in UIL athletic competitions.   Entities violating the UILMB rules would
be suspended from UIL athletic competitions for a period determined by
the commissioner.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

There may be a fiscal implication to school districts, depending on the
rules and regulations adopted by the UILMB.
